Did the Navy ever have P-51's in its inventory?

I'm researching something and can use some assistance if anyone has the
expertise or the inclination to be of assistance with this.
Apparently there was a training manual put out during the forties on the
P51 Mustang (not the airplane's dash 1 which totally contridicts this
manual) that said the 51 could NOT hold or maintain a slip.
I'm interested in any information on that manual, and/or the reasons for
this statement.
I already know the Mustang can be slipped as I've slipped it many times.
What I need is origin information on this exact training manual and any
reasoning for the no slip ability statement being in that manual.
Thank you
